WATCHMEN is officially coming to television: HBO has ordered the reimagining of the classic graphic novel to series.

The new series, from LOST/LEFTOVERS boss Damon Lindelof, is “set in an alternate history where ‘superheroes’ are treated as outlaws,” HBO says. “WATCHMEN embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.” (The Alan Moore novel was previously made into a 2008 film.)
